Relative to a Schoolroom Globe… Planet Mars is a mile away (1.6 km). The Moon is 30 feet away (10 meters). The International Space Station orbits 3/8th of an inch (1 cm) above the surface. Branson & Bezos this month ascend the thickness of two dimes (2 mm) above the surface.

What is the point of a set scrum these days? Every scrum-half ‘feeds’ the ball into his second row. Hookers are redundant....

In 1665 Cambridge University closed because of plague. Isaac Newton retreated to rural Lincolnshire. During his 2 years in lockdown he worked out calculus, the true meaning of colour, gravitation, planetary orbits & the 3 Laws of Motion. Will 2020 be someone’s Annus Mirabilis?
